Kaifa halukum?-in Arabic (how are you?)
Last week, during Chinese New Year break, "unplanned", I had watched 'Star King' on channel 394 and it was about fake foods, genius guitar player, genius dancers and genius dogs. But.... fake foods attract me more. hahahahhahah..... why?? because...... I love foods.
Fake foods??
According to Dexbot (n.d.), there are various names for fake food including pretend food, wax food, artificial food, faux food, replica food, imitation food, food fake, false food and stimulated food.
Wow!!! variety of names right? heheheh...
In Japan, fake food really popular and normally it is for display their popular dishes in their window at the restaurants, supermarket and so on to attract customers. Basically, fake food are make by using melted wax or plastic.
Besides, in Japan, fake food is a multi-billion yen business and an almost century-old tradition of proud craftsmanship. Food artificial are common look in Japan. So, if you go to Japan, don't be surprised, ok.
However, fake food expensive than real food but it's really valuable and durable.
Previously, fake foods were made by using melted wax. Nowadays, food models are no longer made of wax, it was replaced by more durable plastic in 1970 (but, some people try to preserve food fake create by using melted wax).
So, to make lettuce by using melted wax, pour layer of white and green wax into a water bath, lift out the resulting sheet, scrunch it up, and cut it half. It's pretty remarkable how realistic it looks. (source:Youtube)

If you’re visiting Tokyo and you’re interested in food models, Kappabashi, the famous street full of kitchen supply stores, is the place to go. They cater to tourists as well as the restaurant trade, because the industry has caught on to the fact that there are ways to make these things into perfect souvenirs like magnets, cell phone charms, stands, and so on.
